At the International Film Festival in Rotterdam, there was a bit of news for a localized release of director Takashi Miike’s Ace Attorney movie adaptation. The ne came from a rather reliable source, from Takashi Miike himself, during a Q&A that followed a showing of the film, Miike announced that a worldwide release was planned.
According to Twitchfilm, each version will have both dubbed and subtitled dialogue using the character names from that region’s version of the games. So Miles Edgeworth in North America, would also be named Benjamin Hunter in France.
Now that we know we’re getting the movie, is it worth spending money on? Twitchfilm reviewed the movie in the most simplest of manners, “This is definitely a love-it or hate-it affair, and if you don’t dig the silly caricature tongue-in-cheek atmosphere which inhabits the universe of ‘Ace Attorney,’ you will tire of the film way before its halfway point has been reached, but if you DO have fun with it, this is the fastest way to spend almost two and a half hours.”
